St. Bernard's Celebrates Indigenous Peoples Day

St. Bernard's Academy was honored to welcome Mr. Ted Hernandez of the Wiyot tribe on Monday for an Indigenous Peoples presentation. Mr. Hernandez spoke to our student body about the history of the Wiyot tribe as well as the history of his own family. We were so very lucky to have him on campus to celebrate with us. Big thank you to OniRose Orcutt for introducing Mr. Hernandez to the student body.

6th Grade Retreat Next Friday



On Friday, October 25th, we will have our Annual Sixth Grade Retreat at Sacred Heart Church in Eureka, 2085 Myrtle Ave.

Standard free dress code still applies. Please have them dress for outdoor games.

Students will need to bring a bag lunch, as it will not be provided. Microwaves are not available at this location. Please have your child bring a water bottle as well.

If you feel inclined to help, the best thing you could do is send your child with a snack to share. This can be chips, donuts, cookies, cut vegetables or any other snack you think appropriate.



Please arrange a ride for your student to arrive at Sacred Heart Church. Please have them there by 9:00 am and arrange for their pickup at 1:00. We will have a teacher onsite by 8:30 for those who need to drop off kids early.
